ANDY BOSTOM: ABE FOXMAN IS A HYPOCRITICAL IGNORAMUS…….

The Tundra Tabloids good friend and colleague, Andy Bostom, justifiably lets loose on Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League for his sharia compliant attitude. Abe Foxman is a dhimmi Jew, there’s no getting around it, and as head of a major Jewish human rights organization, the ADL, it only compounds the error.

The ADL once served a purpose in combating anti-Semitism, and at times it still does, but it’s become more of a Jewish wing of the Democrat Party, and whatever serves the party is good enough for Abe Foxman. If the Dems want to turn a blind eye to the rise of sharia within the US in order to curry favor for the Muslim vote, ‘dhimmi’ Foxman is their point-man to make it happen.

The man is a complete ignoramus and a Democrat Party hack, and the ADL would do well in jettisoning him from the organization before he successfully runs it into the ground through his crass pandering. KGS

Avian-Brained Abe Foxman on the ‘Cloacal’ Sharia

Avian Cloaca: Bousquet’s Sharia Metaphor

Foxman: Avian-Brained on Sharia

Abraham Foxman’s latest uninformed rant, “Shout down the Sharia myth makers,” re-affirms his nonpareil status as the most blindly agenda-driven and distressingly stupid organizational Jewish “leader.” The Anti-Defamation League (ADL)’s Foxman sprays defamatory charges—rooted in willful ignorance—against all those legitimately concerned with the ceaseless efforts of mainstream institutional American Islam to insinuate Sharia mores and jurisdiction into US society.

Foxman is the same hypocritical ignoramus who on June 10, 2005 gave the fundamentalist Muslim Prime Minister, and inveterate, if authentic, doctrinally-based Islamic Jew-hater, Recep Tayyip “Mas-Kom-Ya” Erdogan, the ADL’s “Courage to Care Award.” Two years later, in August, 2007, consistent with this travesty, borne of his dogmatic, uncritical Islamophilia, Foxman infuriated the heavily Armenian community of Watertown, MA (a Boston suburb whose 8,000 Armenian-Americans make up nearly 25 percent of the population). Local Armenians objected, rightfully, to Foxman’s denying the ugly established legacy of the World War I era Armenian genocide—a jihad genocide committed by the Muslim Turks under the direction of their Ottoman rulers. Thus while promoting an ADL campaign to combat bigotry and celebrate diversity in Watertown, “No Place for Hate,” Mr. Foxman and the ADL were simultaneously lobbying against legislation recognizing the Armenian genocide in the U.S. House (HR 106) and the Senate (SR 106), including the presentation of letters from the vestigial remnant dhimmi Jewish community of Turkey complemented by, “their own [i.e., the ADL’s] statement opposing the bill.”

Predictably, Foxman’s vicious, idiotic tirade ignores all evidence of Sharia encroachment in the US, from ominous polling data, to jihad funding trial revelations and the content of more banal Muslim litigation proceedings, mosque surveillance reports, analyses of Islamic education institutions and their Muslim schoolchildren’s textbooks, the issuance of obscurantist “fatwas” (Islamic legal rulings) by the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America, and finally, an open declaration by one of America’s largest mainstream Muslims organizations, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), in its 2010 ICNA Member’s Hand Book, calling for the (re-)creation of a global Muslim Caliphate, and the imposition of Sharia law in America. Salient details from these illustrative examples, include:

Data (compiled here) from an April 2001 survey performed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) revealing that 69% of American Muslims in America affirmed that it was “absolutely fundamental” or “very important” to have Salafi (i.e., fundamentalist Islamic) teachings at their mosques, while 67 % of respondents agreed with the statement “America is an immoral, corrupt society.” Another poll conducted in Detroit area mosques during 2003 found that 81% of the respondents endorsed the application of the Sharia where Muslims comprised a majority.

An internal Muslim Brotherhood statement dated May 22, 1991, whose contents were revealed during the Texas Holy Land Foundation jihad-terrorism funding trial. Written by an acolyte of the Brotherhood’s major theoretician, lionized Qatari cleric, popular Al-Jazeera television personality, and head of the European Fatwa Council Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the document entitled “An Explanatory Memorandum On the General Strategic Goal for the Group In North America,” is indeed self-explanatory: The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and by the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.

The “Sharia and Violence in American Mosques” (Kedar M, Yerushalmi D. The Middle East Quarterly, Summer 2011, Vol. 18, No. 3, pp. 59-72) studied 100 mosques randomly selected across the U.S. testing the hypothesis that Sharia adherence within mosques (including, among many other factors, gender separation, clothing, male facial hair, jewelry, strictness on alignment shoulder-to-shoulder during prayer, etc.) would correlate with incitement to jihadism. This key summary finding was highlighted by the authors: …51 percent of mosques had texts that either advocated the use of violence in the pursuit of a Shari‘a-based political order or advocated violent jihad as a duty that should be of paramount importance to a Muslim; 30 percent had only texts that were moderately supportive of violence like the Tafsir Ibn Kathir and Fiqh as-Sunna; 19 percent had no violent texts at all. Thus 81% of this statistical sample representative of US mosques were deemed as moderately (30%) to highly (51%) supportive of promulgating jihad violence to impose Shari’a

A provisional inquiry “Shariah Law and American State Courts” evaluated 50 Appellate Court cases from 23 states that involved conflicts between Shariah (Islamic law) and American state law. Examples of American judges accepting “input” from Sharia in rendering judgments, included an odious, widely publicized New Jersey ruling that upheld Sharia-sanctioned marital rape. Appellate court intervention was required to reverse this ruling in July 2010—Western legal norms prevailing over the Sharia—with the presiding judge soberly concluding that the Muslim husband’s “…conduct in engaging in nonconsensual sexual intercourse was unquestionably knowing, regardless of his view that his [Islamic] religion permitted him to act as he did.” Completely ignored at the time of these New Jersey proceedings was the fact that marital rape is not recognized as criminal, i.e., it is sanctioned, by a fatwa of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America! (see below)

Investigations of textbooks widely used in the New York city area Islamic schools, as well as the Islamic Saudi Academy of Fairfax Virginia which discovered the inculcation of Sharia supremacism, including sacralized disparagement and hatred of non-Muslims, especially Jews. When questioned for the March, 30 2003 NY Daily News story on New York area Islamic school textbooks, Yahiya Emerick, head of a Queens-based nonprofit curriculum development project for the Islamic Foundation of North America, defended the language in these books, denying they were inflammatory. Emerick opined, Islam, like any belief system, believes its program is better than others. I don’t feel embarrassed to say that…[The books] are directed to kids in a Muslim educational environment. They must learn and appreciate there are differences between what they have and what other religions teach. It’s telling kids that we have our own tradition.

The Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America(AMJA), whose mission statement maintains the organization was, “…founded to provide guidance for Muslims living in North America…AMJA is a religious organization that does not exploit religion to achieve any political ends, but instead provides practical solutions within the guidelines of Islam and the nation’s laws to the various challenges experienced by Muslim communities…”, isaccepted as such by the mainstream American Muslim community. Notwithstanding this mainstream acceptance, including uncritical endorsement of its recent seventh annual American conference in Houston (October 15-18, 2010) to train American imams, AMJA has issued rulings which sanction the killing of apostates, “blasphemers” (including non-Muslims guilty of this “crime”), or adulterers (by stoning to death), condone female genital mutilation, marital rape, and polygamy, and even endorse the possibility for offensive jihad against the US, as soon as Muslims are strong enough to wage it.

Finally, as reported by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), one of the largest mainstream U.S. Muslim organizations, in its 2010 ICNA Member’s Hand Book, openly acknowledges being the American branch of a global jihadist phenomenon referred to as the ‘Islamic Movement.’ The 2010 Hand Book observes, that branches of this movement “…are active in various parts of the world to achieve the same objectives. It is our obligation as Muslims to engage in the same noble cause here in North America.” These efforts will culminate in the (re-)creation of a transnational Islamic superstate, the Caliphate, under the Sharia.…the united Muslim Ummah [community] in a united Islamic state, governed by an elected khalifah in accordance with the laws of shari’ah.

Forty-five years ago, G.-H. Bousquet elucidated the quintessential nature of the Sharia, and why Muslims seek, endlessly, to impose this system upon all of humanity. Georges Henri (G.-H.) Bousquet (1900-1978), was one of the greatest and most widely published 20th century specialists on Islamic Law. From 1932 to 1956 Bousquet taught North African sociology at the Faculty of Law in Algeria. His major legal writings include Precis elemantaire de droit muslmane(1936-1940), Du droit musulman et de son application effective dans le monde (1949), Justice francais et coutumes kabiles (1950), and L’Ethique sexuelle de l’Islam (1966).

UPDATE: A TT reader sends the following link to the incredibly stupid utterances of ‘Abu’ Foxman in an ADL pdf press release. What’s shocking is the man’s rejection of the facts as he tells his supporters to literally parrot CAIR’s talking points about those of us who warn about sharia law. “Nothing to see here folks, just move right along.” What’s also idiotic is his comparing Islamic sharia courts with Jewish Beit Din religious courts, the comparison is like that of a watermelon with a cumquat. What a loon.

The ADL under Abe Foxman has also been responsible for more than their share of Serb-bashing. The Serbs perished in the Nazi concentration camp of Jasenovac in vast numbers, alongside Jews and Roma, because the Serbs dared to resist the Nazis. You’d think that the sacrifice that the Serbs made would be respected, but nooooo… the Serbs get accused of doing all of the things that their attackers have done, and still do, for real.

I’m glad you wrote about this, KGS. I finally threw in the sponge on the ADL on Nov 4, 2008 when they put a smiling picture of Barack O’Bama on their home page with a large caption: “VICTORY OVER RACISM”. The implication was that Republicans and John McCain were racists. The caption and picture were gone the next day, no doubt due to complaints from Republican donors to the ADL.

This is not the ADL of 25 years ago. They have stopped fighting anti-Semitism in the name of fighting “hate”.

Last but not least, the ADL’s claim is that ALL of the proposed anti-Sharia laws would deny the right of Jews to a Beit Din. That simply is not true as binding arbitration is always legal as long as it is not coerced. That still leaves room for Sharia as well; so long as it is not coerced.

To be fair, the ADL has done one good thing in recent years. They were the first MJO to confront the O’Bama Administration about their obnoxious policy toward Jews building homes in our ancestral lands. Even then, they were deliberately gentle and quiet about it.

As a Jew, I believe that a Jewish organization chartered to fight anti-Semitism should do just that. Yes, there’s work to be done in the broader context of racism, religious, and ethnic bigotry, but the focus should be on the charter; fighting anti-Semitism. When an organization like the ADL goes to bat for people known for their ambivalence toward anti-Semitism (That’s about as nice as I can put it.) then we can legitimately ask whether the ADL is really chartered to fight anti-Semitism as it claims.

There’s no utopian solution for guiding human communities.

Daniel Greenfield explains Islam 101:

"Every devout Muslim is an "Islamist". Islam is not a personal religion. It is a religion of the public space. A "moderate" Muslim would have to reject Islam as a religion of the public space, as theocracy, and that secularism would be a rejection of Islam.

Nothing in Islam exists apart from anything else. While liberals view culture and religion as a buffet that they can pick and choose from, it is a single integrated system. If you accept one part, you must accept the whole. Once you accept any aspect of Islam, you must accept its legal system and once you accept that, you must accept its governance and once you accept that, you lose your rights.''
